The old alarm system in our new house was dated — most security companies we contacted had never even heard of its manufacturer.  But the fatal flaw was that its motion sensors were not “pet-friendly” and would therefore go off if the cats were to move about in our absence.  Our insurance company gives us a significant discount for having an alarm system, so going without is not an option.  So I ordered a completely new, modern system, some of the components of which you see here.
